Hot Glass Roadshow will begin on Friday and continue through Oct. 14 with 60 live demonstrations at the KIA, 314 S. Park St. The exhibit will allow patrons to witness master glassmakers transform chunks of molten glass into bowls, vases and more.

"The Hot Glass Roadshow is a one-of-a-kind experience and is fun for everyone. Its visually exciting and a great interactive show to take your family to," KIA Executive Director Jim Bridenstine said in a press release.

The traveling program is in conjunction with the ongoing exhibit, "Expressions: International Glass Invitational," which continues at the KIA through Nov. 4. "Expressions" boasts almost 40 pieces of glass art from 26 renowned artists, including Dan Dailey, Anne Wolff, Chihuly and more.

For fans of glass art, October is a busy month. In addition to the Hot Glass Roadshow, the West Michigan Glass Art Center will host a special Art Hop stop on Friday and on Oct. 10, the organization will celebrate its 10-year anniversary with a big party.John Liberty can be reached at 269-370-7372 or jlibert1@mlive.com.
